What do waffles, Pluto, and "Jane Eyre" all have in common?

After spending quite awhile contemplating how to perfectly start my blog, I said to myself, "Self, just forget about making this perfect, make it YOU!"  So that's what I'm doing! I'll start by telling you my main goals of the blog...


-To give some happiness and hope to those who need it. 
-To let the rest of the world into my world through music, books, random thoughts, beliefs, videos, or whatever I feel like!
-And lastly, to spread God's undeniable and unfailing love.


I didn't want to spend forever telling you "about me", because I hope that through reading this blog, you will know about me! So, since my first blog is on August 24th, 2010, I thought I would give you some useless information about cool things that have happened on other August the 24ths! Enjoy
